George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 6h6 hours ago Flaska on Bob's demeanor: “I felt it odd, in that he was worried she was missing, but he was not visibly upset.”

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 6h6 hours ago
After Flaska got some info on Jim Wilson, she said her demeanor toward Bob changed.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 6h6 hours ago Flaska overheard in church: “His mother was saying, ‘Oh Bob; they’re saying you had a girlfriend.’

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 6h6 hours ago Bob told his mother: “It’s not true" (that he had a girlfriend).

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 6h6 hours ago McCarthy is cross-examining. He had objected about what Bob had said in church, which was sustained, and Flaska couldn't reveal Bob's answer

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 6h6 hours ago Lindsey can now ask about Bob's conversation with his mom, Nancy, in church, when his mother asked if he had a girlfriend.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 6h6 hours ago Judge stressed the statement by the mother is not being offered as being the truth. Legal sticking point.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 6h6 hours ago On the day of Jane's funeral, Flaska says Bob's mom said, 'They're saying you had an affair. Oh, Bob, did you?'" Bob denied it.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 6h6 hours ago Breaking for lunch. The next witness will take a long time, so the lunch break will be short.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago We're back on the record for #bobbashara trail. Out of presence of the jury, lawyers haggling over which text messages will be allowed.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago
Judge Evans said there are some the defense doesn't want allowed but they should have filed a motion months ago, she said.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago Lillian Diallo: “When Joe Gentz was ruled that he can’t testify, that changed the game up.”
Some of the texts apparently involve Gentz.

Hank Winchester ‏@HankLocal4 4h4 hours ago New battle over submitting text messages as evidence in #BobBashara case. I'm having Kwame trial flashbacks @Local4News

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago Judge: "We are in the middle of trial, and we're still dealing with evidentiary issues that should've been resolved sooner than this."

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago
Judge required attorneys to file by Oct. 24 which txts they want to use, and why.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago The day's 4th witness: ATF Special Agent Stan Brue, cell phone specialist. We're told this will be lengthy testimony.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago When attorneys told the media before lunch that a cell phone specialist was up next, several reporters groaned.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago Cell phone testimony is crucial to a trial -- but it can be tedious sometimes.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago Agent Brue: "Call patterns are crucial to police investigations because of the role cell phones have in our lives."

 

[Darkman00]

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago Just a few years ago, this discipline didn't even exist. Amazing how far we've come - and how your every call can be investigated.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago
During the time analyzed, Bob called Rachel 574 times - more than he called Jane (550 times). Called her on cell phone, home and office

Hank Winchester ‏@HankLocal4 4h4 hours ago
180 days: Bob called mistress Rachel 1026 times, wife Jane 775 times & handyman Joe Gentz 472 times @Local4News #BobBashara

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago The weekend of Jan. 21-24: Bob called Joe 33 times; Joe called Bob 3 times.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago
Jurors don't seem as interested in this testimony as they did the more juicy stuff. One juror's eyes are closed, chin in hand. Asleep?

 

[Darkman00]

^^ )))

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago Nope -- she sat like that with her eyes closed for a good 5 minutes, but she just jolted upright and turned her head.

 

[Darkman00]

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago During the hours Jane was considered missing, her cell phone received 91 calls. Only 6 were from Bob; 49 were from her brother, John.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago
A video was shown of Bob telling TV reporter he never left home that night. Cell phone pinging data suggests otherwise.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago After Jane was discovered murdered, #bobbashara called Rachel, a realtor, and his attorney before getting around to phoning his daughter.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 4h4 hours ago An old TV interview with #bobbashara being shown again. He's since trimmed the Elvis sideburns.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago Before and after Jane's murder, Bob called and texted Janet Leehmannn, the woman from Oregon.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago In Janet's texts to Master Bob, she refers to him as "Sir."

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago #Bobbashara sent texts to Janet: “Kneel and know you are mine” and “…feel my whip.”

 

[Darkman00]

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago From Bob's http://alt.com ad: “Welcome to my world, I am Master Bob, a complete trainer."

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago
“I will open train and guide you in this lifestyle…kneel and have all your desires and cravings opened to you."

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago
"I will make you love and enjoy the lovely mix of moderate pain and pleasure.”

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago
Ooops, Bob's ad was from http://Collarspace.com . Here's a screen grab ...


George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago After about an hour-and-a-half, Stan Brue's direct questioning over. Diallo now doing cross-exam.

Hank Winchester‏@HankLocal4 3h3 hours ago
Bashara's profile S&M site "Are you ready for Master Bob.. I will make you love mix of pain & pleasure" @Local4News


George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago We're at 1:49 of cell phone testimony.

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago Judge: "That's enough for the day." ATF agent's testimony will continue Wednesday.

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago Wait a minute. We are coming back tomorrow, judge said. "It was difficult for me to follow along with that testimony..."

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago "Tomorrow, we are going to take all day to make a determination of whether the court will receive (the text messages)."

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago From 1 to 4 tomorrow, the attorneys will come back to court to hammer out which txt messages will be allowed. Judge: "This is too critical."

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago Another change. After sidebar, Judge said: “tomorrow from 9:30 to noon, we need to go through each and every text message."

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago Lisa Lindsey said she has 2 out-of-state witnesses. One is a Secret Service agent. The other? Janet Leehmann, the woman from Oregon?

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago Lindsey: "One will be a real long witness." Attorneys now whispering at the bench...

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago Okay, another change by judge: Because Bob's attorney Mike McCarthy is scheduled to be elsewhere tomorrow, the text arguments will be Friday

 

[Darkman00]

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago But they'll first need to check with jurors to see if they're available Friday, since it was already established we wouldn't be here Fridays

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago
Confused? So am I !!!

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago Judge is asking the jurors if they can come in Friday from 1:30 to 4.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 3h3 hours ago Okay, so now we have (another, final) schedule: No court tomorrow. Text hearing at 9:30 am Friday. Testimony from 1:30-4 Friday.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago Lindsey: The 7 texts in question are between #bobbashara and Joe Gentz. "We'll deal with them Friday," Evans said.

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago Okay, now Judge says we'll start at 1 on Friday for the text message hearing, not 9:30. I've got a headache. Testimony will resume at 1:30

George Hunter ‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago Okay, this has become bizarre. There's a witness in the courtroom, and the judge has asked for an attorney. Don't know what's going on.

5 minute recess.

 

[Bravo]

Thanks so much Darkmann for updating. I was able to follow some tweets today but couldn't post much.

 

[Darkman00]

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago Okay, this other witness is involved in another case. What threw me off was, Robert Moran had asked for this witness to be questioned.

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago
Okay, so this witness was interviewed as someone being involved with Joe Gentz. She didn't make herself available. Used daughter's name.

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago The witness (didn't catch her name) is living out of her van.

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago
The witness is being held in jail on $50,000 bond, 10 percent, and required to wear a tether.

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago
Apparently this woman was somehow involved with Joe Gentz. Moran said prosecutors have tried to get ahold of her since August.

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago
Judge says she'll probably testify next week.

George Hunter‏@GeorgeHunter_DN 2h2 hours ago
Woman was Frances Natale. She was arrested Friday by Wayne Cty. Sheriffs. Cops tried to get her but no reply. Won’t testify till next week.

Amy Lange‏@langeamyFOX2 2h2 hours ago

@GeorgeHunter_DN This is insane

 

[Bravo]

Oh man I pray there is no screw ups of Court days next week. I'll see if I can keep Thursday as a back up day in case it's announced Tuesday there is no Court Wed. (which is the day we plan to go) Grrrrrrr........................LOL

 

[Bravo]

Joe Gentz Refuses To Testify In Bob Bashara Murder Trial, Could Lose Plea Deal (from a couple weeks back I guess)

If you are planning ahead and/or might attend the trial more than once, please keep in mind that Tuesday, November 5 is election day here, so Court will likely not be in session that day. I look forward to reading your reports from the trial.
